Wrongful Death

Our attorneys can help you

The death of a loved one can be a traumatic experience for anyone. If a loved one died due to the negligent or reckless behavior of someone else, dealing with such an upsetting situation can be extremely difficult. You may feel scared, confused, angry or depressed.

You're not alone. We can help. The New Hampshire wrongful death attorneys at Burns, Bryant, Cox, Rockefeller & Durkin, P.A. understand how upsetting and overwhelming such cases can be for family members. We can help you every step of the way through this painful period in your life.

Wrongful death claims can be filed by the living relatives of the deceased in order to obtain compensation for their loss and expenses associated with the death of a loved one. Your family deserves to be compensated for medical bills, funeral costs, lost wages and lost future wages. Your pain and suffering is real. And our attorneys can help you file and pursue a wrongful death claim.

Focus on the family

A wrongful death claim is essentially a personal injury lawsuit filed on behalf of the deceased. These claims must be brought within specified deadlines, according to New Hampshire's wrongful death statute of limitations. If you wait longer than the stated deadline to file a wrongful death claim, your case will not be heard in court and you will not be able to obtain financial compensation.

Your family deserves the compassion and legal attention you need to move forward with your lives. Having an attorney on your side who knows the law and knows your needs is extremely important for filing a claim. Claims can be filed by:

Spouses

Children

Parents

Siblings

Others

Don't delay. Death due to another party's negligence is tragic, traumatic, and often very confusing. Don't try to tackle your complicated legal case on your own. We can explain all the legal options available to you and work with you to achieve the best outcome.
